Hi All

I'm new to the Fiesta world and hope you guys can shed some light on why the engine cooling fan comes on very soon, by soon I mean within 5 Min's after starting and driving away from cold, I can't see any way on a Mk7 zetec too see what the engine temperature is, but I don't think that the engine is over heating at all.

any ideas or is this standard on a small engined car?

    Mine started doing this the other day even with the air con off took it back to the dealers turned out to be a sticking relay for the fan

    Reading other posts, it does seem there is a bit of an issue with fan relays, so if your air-con is off and there is still excessive fan operation, may be worth getting it checked.
